I breed barbs. Here's a shot of 21 day Odessa Barbs. In this batch from one pair it turns out that I had 470+ (after culling the weakest ones). Currently they are growing out in a 50G. Easy to breed, just need to condition the parents first and the moment I put them together they have at it.

Momma and the eggs now 2 week old fry, just common JDs but a pleasant surprise the parents got on instantly on introduction

Got a few projects on the go will only mention 1 or 2

Species: Aulonocara ethelwynnae peacock

How many: 10 (F1)

How long trying: 2 weeks (just received them currently growing out)

Any successful spawns already: still young juveniles still establishing heirarchy - dominant male has officially seized top status and has popped colors. Believe I have 3 more males in the batch so will wait for the next male in charge to pop before removing the other 2 males to my 65 grow out where I have 2 s sulfur head males growing out.

Set up: 40 breeder / fluval 306 cannister / 20lbs african cichlid mix sand substrate 1 lb of crushed coral / ph 7.8 / aquaeclear hob / fluval 100w heater / temp 78 / maxijet powerhead with filter floss changed end of every 2nd day.

Any triggers/other information : doing multiple small feedings daily / 10% water change Tuesday and Thursday 50% on Sunday also feeding repashy spawn and grow mixed with Soilent Green for them to graze on added 2 days after they finish the batch I last placed in the tank. Just trying to provide as natural a feeding routine as they would have which is small increments through out the day in the wild in a grazing fashion as best I can as well as maintaining a high quality body of water for them with lots of oxygen.

Any one familiar with these please msg me as any experience notes advice suggestions welcome. My first time keeping these guys.

hey,

I don´t really intended to breed, but my Jack Dempseys decided to go for it again.
Feeding once a day, the fry keeps growing and is barely decreasing in numbers... I hope some fish stores are looking for beautiful JDs...
I opened a thread already, showing the development of the fry:
"Finally, JDs laid eggs again. "
If you want to see pictures, there you go

Ethelwynnae Peacock cichlids

3 batches all hatched within days of each other were tumbled and now floating together peacefully. Will b preparing a 10 gal grow out I have settup until they re big enuff to move to my 65 gal and then to the store to sell. Over 50 of them survived which is great seeing as how the parents are all still juveniles and this was there first attempted spawning. My 2 dominant males jostle for dominance but it’s been a great amount of displaying from them both dubbed Tres and Mob due to the amount of egg spots on anal fin. Tres has 3 and mob has about 9.
